I live locally and love being near the sea. My wife's family grew up in Blackrock and swam daily in the Baths. It would be nice to see the baths renovated at some stage. I decided to paint this picture of the baths and the spectacular view.
I am a 59-year-old from Blackrock. I have always been interested in art but work and family has got in the way at times. Lockdown has given me the chance to rediscover my creative side and I am loving it! Since picking up the stylus and tablet I have found it hard to put them down.
